The Kings are "very interested" in backup point guard Dennis Schroder, according to team beat writer Ailene Voisin.

The Kings are "interested" in just about everyone on this side of the Equator. Schroder is under contract for this upcoming season, but we'd just thought we'd throw this out there because the Kings are the Kings. Schroder can make plays, but he can also make plays for the other team, too. Jul 1 - 4:57 AM

Dennis Schroder was limited by foul trouble during Tuesday's blowout loss, which he finished with four points on 2-of-7 shooting, one rebound, four assists and one turnover in 19 minutes.

The Hawks' second-year guard wasn't shy offensively in the series, racking up a team-high usage rate of 37.2 percent. Unfortunately, he shot below 40 percent from the field and had the third-lowest offensive rating among the Hawks, ahead of only Mike Muscala and Pero Antic. Schroder has imposing quickness but he needs to improve his jump shot this summer -- during the regular season he made 137-of-391 jumpers (35.0 percent) which allowed opponents to sag off and dare him to shoot.

Dennis Schroder played just three and a half minutes of Sunday's tight Game 3 loss against the Cavs.

Coach Mike Budenholzer went with 28 minutes for Shelvin Mack because he was so desperate for shooting, and while Mack was 5-of-10 from the field, including 3-of-7 from behind the 3-point line, it's hard to find an explanation for Schroder being glued to the bench. It will be interesting to see what happens to Schroder's playing time in a do-or-die Game 4. May 25 - 9:36 AM

Dennis Schroder hit just 3-of-12 shots and missed all three of his 3-point attempts to finish with six points, five rebounds, seven assists and a steal in 25 minutes off the Hawks bench in Wednesday's dramatic win.

He only made three shots, but two of them were huge, as he hit a two-pointer to give the Hawks a 76-73 lead with 2:54 remaining, and then hit a runner to put his team up five (78-73) with just over two minutes left, which capped a crucial 14-0 run for the Hawks. He also missed the rim on a 3-point attempt that allowed Marcin Gortat to tie the game at 78 with 47 seconds left, and then missed a layup in traffic, when Al Horford bailed him out and won the game with a rebound and a put back with 1.9 seconds remaining. The Hawks now lead the series 3-2, and Schroder should continue to be the key bench player for the Hawks in the playoffs. May 13 - 11:06 PM

Dennis Schroder played down the stretch during a tough 103-101 loss to the Wizards on Saturday, finishing with 18 points, two rebounds, five assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 20 minutes.

Coach Mike Budenholzer was in a pickle for this one. His starters put his team in a hole of 20 points with seven minutes left in the fourth, so he went with his bench at that point. Shockingly, the Hawks bench along with Kyle Korver were able to bring the Hawks back and actually tied the game. Budenholzer made the right call here because Jeff Teague just couldn't get into an offensive rhythm, finishing with 18 points, four rebounds, seven assists, three steals and two turnovers on 5-of-15 from the field. Expect the starters to get normal minutes on Monday.

Dennis Schroder scored 12 points with six assists, two steals and one 3-pointer in 19 minutes against the Nets on Wednesday.

He's having a bit of a coming-out party for those not too familiar with the NBA. Schroder scored 13 points in Game 1 and he's doing it with style. He's a very nice insurance policy to Jeff Teague, but his fantasy value will be capped as long as Teague is around.

Dennis Schroder came off the bench and hit 9-of-13 shots and two 3-pointers for 21 points and zero assists in Wednesday's ugly loss to the Bulls.

The 60-game winners have lost four straight, not exactly ideal heading into the playoffs. They've got the No. 1 seed and will host the No. 8 Nets starting on Sunday. The good news for Hawks fans is that Paul Millsap was back (5 points in 27 minutes) and that none of the starters played more than 27 minutes tonight. Al Horford scored 14, and DeMarre Carroll and Jeff Teague each scored 10 on a night the Hawks blew an 18-point lead. They were up 60-42 in the third quarter, but Aaron Brooks went on a tear and the Bulls won a meaningless game for the Hawks. If they get by the Nets in Round 1, they'll face the winner of the Wizards-Raptors series in Round 2, so things couldn't have worked out better for Atlanta. They'll just have to figure out a way to get hot again in the playoffs, but they'll also be playing all their guys regular minutes come Sunday.

Dennis Schroder had 14 points, six rebounds, three assists and three turnovers in a fill-in start vs. the Wizards on Sunday.

He shot 6-of-16 from the field and didn't have any steals even though John Wall coughed up 10 turnovers. Jeff Teague was rested as a precaution today and he's expected to return for Monday's game vs. the Knicks, but the prospect of a blowout could lead to increased playing time for Schroder even if he does come off the bench. He's a reasonably safe option with two games left on the Hawks' schedule.

Dennis Schroder (toe) played 19 minutes on Friday, scoring 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting (including two threes) with two rebounds and five assists.

Schroder more or less plays like he usually does and the only thing capping his upside is the toe injury. Chances are the Hawks will rest enough to key guys to give Schroder the opening he needs, but owners may want to expect a line like this and let anything more be icing on the cake.

Dennis Schroder (toe) played 15 minutes off the bench on Tuesday, scoring six points with two rebounds, four assists and three turnovers in a blowout victory.

His toe was still sore and he was on a minute-limit tonight, which capped his productivity for fantasy owners. Schroder would be a fine option if his restriction is lifted, especially if Jeff Teague is rested down the stretch -- since mid-March he's averaging 13.0 points, 1.6 threes, 2.6 boards, 5.3 assists and 0.3 steals in just 23 minutes per game. His assists per game have jumped from 1.9 last season to 4.2 this season, the fifth-largest gain of any player in the NBA.

Dennis Schroder (toe) expects to play around 15 minutes in his return to action on Tuesday vs. the Suns.

It's going to be difficult for Schroder to put up a worthwhile stat line playing limited minutes, so he's not a great guy to play tonight. His return to the rotation will cut into the minutes of Shelvin Mack, and Mack can be sent back to the wire in most leagues.

Schroder went through a full practice on Monday, and his return bodes well for the Hawks as it will allow Jeff Teague (ankle) some additional time to rest should Mike Budenholzer opt to go that route. We have a feeling he will.

He did some work in practice on Friday, but he'll be out until at least Tuesday. The Hawks are at home, so we aren't expecting them to rest Jeff Teague. Shelvin Mack is only an option in very deep leagues. Schroder can be dropped in most leagues, which stinks because he would have been a nice asset.

Depth Charts

Shelvin Mack underwent successful shoulder surgery on Tuesday, and he is expected to make a full recovery in 3-4 months.

Mack owns career-averages of 5.4 points and 2.8 assists on 41.4 percent shooting from the field. He should be ready to go by the start of next year's training camp, but as the third-string point guard in Atlanta, it'll take more than a few injuries for him to gain any sort of relevancy in fantasy leagues. Obviously he's not someone to target on draft day in standard leagues.

Kyle Korver (ankle, elbow) remains hopeful that he will be ready in time for training camp.

"I’m doing OK," Korver said. "Both ankle and elbow are progressing fine. I’m definitely hopeful that they will be ready to go by camp." Korver had surgery on his right elbow and his right ankle, but all signs point to him being ready to start the season. He posted averages of 12.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.9 3-pointers in 75 appearances last season, and he will once again be an elite option for any owner in need of 3-pointers.

Thabo Sefolosha (ankle) said he's progressing in his rehab, but is unsure of exactly when he'll be back on the court.

Sefolosha said he's feeling better after undergoing surgery on his broken right fibula that he suffered in an April altercation with police in New York City, but still doesn't have a timetable. "I am doing better every day," Sefolosha said. "The leg and ankle are feeling good but it is too early to say exactly when I’ll be back on the court." There is a chance that Sefolosha ends up as Atlanta's starting small forward with DeMarre Carroll gone, but he's still more of a defensive specialist and isn't worth a roster spot in standard fantasy leagues.

He was having another solid game before the injury, scoring six points with five rebounds and one block in 14 minutes. Taveres has a 7'9" wingspan and the Hawks will certainly be hoping they have the next Rudy Gobert on their hands. Of course, Taveres has a lot to prove.
